The Wilmingtonian., 1887-02-26

Upon its presentation in the Reichstag the
bill met unusual opposition, and this not
withstanding the joint efforts of all the i'm
perial ministers, government eff ,ials and
prominent generals, including Bismarck,
Won Moltke, Price Hohenlohe, and even the
known wishes and feelings of the old Kaiser
himself upon the matter. After much dis
cussion which at times was almost personal
between the opposed leaders the bill was at
length thrown out. Bismarck was furious
ami in not very complimentary manner IN
formed the delegates present that they were
dissolved. The Prince stated that he was
determined that the Septennate bill should
pass In some shape or form. 1t was neces-
sary for the security of the empire. IL the
the army were in a disorganized condition
the peace and security Of the empire would
be at the same moment insecure. He argu
ed that the only way to keep the French
from making any definite efforts was toprove
by external facts that Germany is the strong.
er nation. This could be only done by keer-
ing the army intact The Septennste bill,
it was argued, guaranteed that condition.
The new elections were a test question

for upon the issue of Septennate bill, or no
Septennate bill. 1t appears that the gov.
ernment has won. This probably means
peace, or at any rate additional security to
the empire. Bismarck has secured suffi.
cient majority in the new representatives to
the ReichstsR to ensure the passage Of the
passage of the measure.
Now with an army whose numbers can
not be thinned by those whose terms OF on.
listment run out, for under the provisions OF
the bill no soldier can leave the army for
another four years at least, German gener-
ais can feel themselves secure to meet either
Russian or Frenohmen.
1t may be asked In regard to the passage
of this army bill why should it be considered

and would that not be species Of most con-
demnable erpost faeto legislation. Probably
however they do not discriminate in those
fine points in the old country. The new
army bill it is most likely was passed with
the clause, unconstitutional though 1t may
be seen that all those at present in service,
though enlisted by their own choice for
three years only are liable to military service
of another four years. 1t was simply com.
pulsory extention of the military term.

The Septennate Bill.

Some weeks ago Prince Bismarck Chancel-
lor of the German Empire, by order of tho
Kaiser d sbanded the German Parliament
ordering all tho msmbers to their homes.
Orders wore issued for new general election
which came of the early part of this week.
The reason why Parliament, or as the Ger
mans call it the Rechstag was dissolved is
as follows. The government is anxious in
presence OF aud impending struggle with
France of seeing It's army in as effective q
condition possible, ready to prosecute an eK-
haust've and prolonged war. According to
present military laws a large part of the
army is serving Under three years' enlist
ment. Supposing war were declared to-mor-
row, after six months prosecution of it
the commanders of the different corps
would probably find a very large number of
their regiments rapidly falling in numerical
strength on account of the fact of the term
of enlistment of great many of the soldiers
running out. In view of this possibility
Prince Bismarck during the recent session
of the Reichstag brought forward a bill
making the torn of enlistment for genera
service seven years instead of three. Thi,
was the much talked Of Septennate bill

Our Firemen.

That hearty tribute of the Texan flremeu
to our fire laddies, is well worth particular
notice. The different fire companies of this
city have been accomplishing modest but
most effective kindness for then brethren
in Texas AS an acknowledgement of the
substantial brotherly feeling, Texan illemen
have sent to Wilmington, addressed to Chief
Engineer Sweeny handsome testimonial
expressa.asssabeiI gratitude. Ta yording
of the latter is remarkable as the Victorian
committee have in very clever manner in
troduced the names of their Wilmington
friends and of their own local companies
coupled in happy combination of rhetorical
wit The letter from Texas is as follows:
Dear Sir: Through our chief Mr.. L. D.
Heaton, Protection Hose Company, No. /,
in whose behalf we address you, received
$50 02, one-haif the nun ficent contribution
for our relief furnished by Friendship No. /,
Reliance. No. O. Pheuix, No. 4, Fame Hose,
No. l, and Washington No. Z, which we beg
10 assure you ia duly appreciated and provi-
ded us timely and substantial aid. The
Friendship manifested by these companies
to us brother firemen is such as Reliance can
be placed OH, and in returning our thanks
for same, we wish your department and its
members every success and good fortune,
hoping they may have Protection of life and
prosperity, cause in which We are all
lesgued, 80 that they will be classed with
the famous Washington, the defender and
father Of his country. Considering the eie-
ment we have to struggle and contend with,
we firemen ought to be warm friends, as
this committee thinks we are. Such favors
as the one from your companies, prove the
strength of brotherly feeling existing be-
tween tiremen and serves to foster that esprit
du corps, which is as essential to the etticien-
cy of fire departments as to that of battal-
ion of fighting men. We wage war against
one of the fierocst antagonists ever combat
ted, ane we generally come off Victorious
We regard the fl.e departments of the ooun-
try grand alliance with but one foe and we
wage an extermnating war against the COM
mon euemy and glory in the conflict Hence,
being of one mind and animated by one pur.
p ,se, we oughtto be band of brothers.
And in thanking you for your kind and
brotherIy act, we greet you as such.

The Truest Homes.

The tIuest homes are often in houses not
especially we'll kept, according to the. ideas
of the very fastidious, where the comfort
and happiness of the inmates rather than the
preseT Vation of the furniture are first con-
sidered They arc not like the home where
the father and sons were obliged to always
come in by the kitchen door, and then had
to take of their boots and walk In their
stocking feet. That home is thing of the
past the sons did not stay auy longer than
they could help under that roof.

Book Notices.

The Eclectic Magazine for February treats
first upon "G@the and Philosophy, some
what difficult passage. The next article
"American Jottings'' is found much more
attractive and readable. A bright breezy
bit of writing readily digested is found in
pecially British flora, with our indigenous
species--we must say very much to the ad-
vantage Of all of the genus America.
Loyalty of tho Indian Mohammedans" by
Sir. William Gregory, a highly interesting
brochure and still more remarkable for the
novelty of the position 1t takes is worth the
attention of all readers especially at this
moment when Russia and England are on
the eve of great war. The point of course
is that the article puts the relation of the
British government with its fifty million of
Mohammedan subjects in far different
light from that which We are habitually, in
this country taught to suppose. Sir William
demonstrates with apparent undenisble au-
thenticity those races will be found among
England's most reliable aids in case oil the
conflict referred to. Another surprise Is the
article "Frauce as II is and was" the argu-
meut of the article is based on the interest
ing thess-the natural nature of the race,
moral nature as race, has never changed.
One feels inclined to quarrel with the writer
at the outset, it being understood that the
implication is one not of tlattering value to
French advancement, by asserting that this
very fact in it's line OF lIuition is what gives
value to our own Anglo Saxon type. Die

How Little Children Suffer.

Nobody knows how much little chiidrsn
sometimes suffer at the hands Of ths unprin-
cipled persons to whom they are too often
ignorantly iutrusted. More than one fatal
attack of brain disease has been directly
traced to dose of opium given by su un-
scrupulous nurse to quiet crying ohild;
many child has caught Its death from en-.
posure to hot sun or cold wind In Its per-
ambulator while It's careless nurse gossipsd
with lover or friend, or read dime novels la
the public parks, and Last but not least, many
nervous child has been injured for life by
the nursery bugaboos with which It has bees
terrified into submission and quiet not si-
ways by the nurse.
The mother who never batheE and dresses
her baby, who does not nurse It and who
sleeps away from It in another room loses
much OF its sweetness, and both she and bar
child are to be pitied. There ia a medium
in all things" and while no woman Ia called
upon to make slave of herself to her child
indeed the doing SO is a positive injury 10
both--still she has no right to give the sacred
charge over to hirelings, and consider her
maternal duty discharged when she pays
their wages.

High License.

The New York Hsrald of Wednesday last,
speaking upon the subject of high license in
reference to the discussions going on in New
York in which DR.. Howard Crosby, Chan
eellor of the University of New York, has
taken prominent part says editorially:--
The Crosby High License bill now before
the Legislature is to be commended. 1t will
reduce the number of saloons and entirely
wipe out great many of the low grogRer-
les. 1t is the general opinion that this bill
is push in the direction OF law and order,
the only opponents to it being the liquor
men and, oddly enough, the prohibitionists.
These prohi5itionists are honest folk-no
one doubts that; but their policy Is fatal to
social progress. They want the millennium
pure and simple, and thsy want it all at
once Well and good. So do the rest of
us. Since we can't have it, however, the
question is whether will take what we can
get and keep on taking and getting until
we have all there is, or whether we shall re-
fuse to take anything until we can get the
whole. There would seem to be no room for
disagreement on that subject, but in reality
there is such fatal dfferesce of opinion
that one of the prohibitionists is reported as
saying that he insists upon all rum or no
rum.
Now, then, gentlemen, just think for a
moment of the anomalous position you oc-
cupy. You say, for example, that you can't
vote for high license because you don't be-
Ieve in any license. AS one of your number
puts 1t, ~ can't make a compromise with
sin and shame" That sounds well, and We
get the impression that you are thoroughly
conscientious. Yes, you hate liquor. You
would abolish liquor selling and you would
make it impossible to get drop Of intoxica-
ting drink in this city, and yet-now mark
you-and yet you arc openly on the side of
the liquor men at the present moment, and
since you cannot shut up every saloon you
won't help US to shut up any of them.
You will not not compromise with sin
and shame ~ All, but that is precisely
what you are now doing by lending your in.
fluepce to the liquor interest Very queer
indeed.
We hope the Crosby bill will become q
law.
The above appears extremely well put,
How do these sentiments apply to our peo.
pls here. We temperance people Of vii.
mington are pretty much in the same pre-.
dcsment as our Empire State fellow citi
zens. OF course it will be remembered In
this argument that DR.. Howard Crosby

Airing Rooms.

1t is great mistake that the whole house,
particularly sleeping rooms and the dining
rooms, receives little ventilatina and purify
ing air, when ii can be done with SO lit
tie trouble and no expense. A pitcher of
cold water placed on table or bureau will
absorb all tbs gases with which ths room Ia
filled from the respiration Of those ssting or
sleeping in the apartment. Very few rssiiss
how important such purineation 10 for the
health of the family, or, indeed, understand
or realize that there can be any impurity la
the rooms, yet in few hoursa pitcher or pail
of cold wster-the colder the more effective
will make the air Of the room pure, bat
the water will be entirely unfit for use.
In bedrooms pail or pitcher Of water
should be always kept, and changed often IL
any one stays in the room during the day,
certainly be put in fresh when the inmates
retire. Such water should never be drunk
but either covered pitcher or glass bottle.
with stopper should bs used for drinking
water, and always be Kepu closely covered.
Impure water causes more sickness than
even impure air, and for that reason, bsfors
using water from pump or reservoir for
drinking or cooking, one should pump er
draw out enough to clear the pipes before
using 1t, particularly In the morning, after
the water has been standing in the pipes all
night.
